[R-390] Big Mistake Please Help

Ronnie,

Don't know about the 390A but on the 390 the end points of the PTO are 3.455
and 2.455 MHz.  If you use your frequency counter to set the PTO to 2.955
MHz and set the counter to 500, you can lock the shaft to your tuning knob.

Subject: [R-390] Big Mistake Please Help

Hello
Well all was going well with the Capehart R-390A until last night. I pulled
the RF Deck out to start working on it, and after cleaning for sometime, I
remembered that I did not set the PTO to 8 Mhz before pulling the deck?
After I remembered that I just thought about messing up big time! I had
already been turning the Mhz change knob to clean the deck, and the
kilocycle change knob has also been turned for cleaning. So the problem is,
that I have no idea where the PTO was at when I pulled the RF Deck? I knew
better than this, I knew from the manuals and the videos that I should have
put the PTO on 8 Mhz but while in the heat of working on it I just slam
forgot. Please tell me there is a way to find out where the PTO is so I can
install the RF Deck when I finished with it. Sure hope I did not mess up to
bad? Again a Stupid Beginners Mistake
Thanks again
Ronnie
